Abstract: In various embodiments, a knowledge capture application automatically captures knowledge associated with computer-based tasks. While a computer-based task is performed during a computer-based session, the knowledge capture application performs operation(s) on a user utterance to automatically generate a knowledge item. The knowledge capture application performs classification operation(s) on the knowledge item to generate a categorized knowledge item that associates the knowledge item with a first category. Subsequently, the knowledge capture application modifies a first element included in a graphical user interface to visually indicate an actual capture level associated with the first category. The knowledge capture application generates a knowledge dataset based on the first categorized knowledge item for storage or display.
